Topic: 318 advice (Read 41522 times)

I have a 71 318 that I am giving to a friend for his barracuda and was wondering what thoughts people have on a nice build. He is trying to build this on a tight budget. Should he replace the heads with some 360 heads, what kind of hydraulic cam, and would an RPM air gap with a 650 carb be a good way to top it off or something else. He isn't looking to make huge power, just something better than his stock 273 2 barrel.

True. Doesn't usually make it cheap though. Basic work on mine, I believe it was around $600 to get my 360 heads milled, new valves, seals, valve job and hot tanking. I much rather look at it at 50% off edelbrock heads with how much i could have dumped into stock heads. Wish i went that route...Would have been well worth the $$, and i got the 360 heads free.
